I originally use to use a Odonnell 97T which gave my go a nice smooth idle but later I found the P3 gave them a better response. I've bounced around trying O.S,Trinity Ex-Tech's and now the GO T3 plugs. The Trinity's held up better then the P3's in my opinion and the T3's I've only tested at 2 races and seem to hold up real good with the right tune. That's with 30% Byron's race driver 3000 Gen 2.

As far as O'donnell plugs, I found the 77T to give me a better idle and a few more RPM compared to the 97T. They DO seem to run best with the O.S. P3, but they have the shortest life of the plugs I have tried. I'll be trying the GO plugs this upcoming season.

Im hoping some one here can help me out. I have a Go tech 3port R and the carb pinch bolt came out. I lost part of it and every where online there are out of stock and it has been that way for a couple weeks. So im hoping someone knows of another pinch bolt from another engine that might work.

Stick to the OD 77T. Alternatives are SH 7, and Hobao's P4

where do you live? I may have one from a 5 port I blew last year. I will look in the morning then re-post. or send me a pm. I think a nova rossi will work. But you need to get some one on here like grizz, racer22, massive mods may know.

ok..so you agree that its a HOT plug?...so the rule of thumb doesnt really count with a GO it seems...you know the plugTEMP vs Nitro content?

It's also related to the shimming of the engine. Ie. with higher nitro and less compression (more shimms) you can use hotter plug. To me it's easier to use the hot or ultrahot plugs for many as the engines are not so picky on the LSN and they iddle better and takeoff more constantly even if you are slightly off with the LSN. GO works just nicely with colder plugs as well but you need to tune them slightly differently for apparent reasons

With standard shimming I currently alternate between OD 97T med and 77T hot, depending on what I have left in my tool box at the time
I have just got some of the new GO T4 plugs in which are medium hot, as opposed to the T3 which is hot. I think the T4's will hit the spot nicely, plus the price and quality of the new GO plugs is great.

Well you are lucky if the plugs are reasonably priced as here they (GO plugs) are actually more than OS plugs which to me makes no sense.

I did get some parts and I think I have 2 new Gx 5 ports left out of the 5 I ordered.
I have:
Rods (new pro rods)
wrist pins
wrist pin clips
or-ooo4 o rings that go in the block for the carb
coated cranks
